Gaming Laptop Covered in Green Pixles

    Hi all,

    My gaming computer, Alienware Mx15, becomes covered in green pixels, usually where black ones should be, when and only when I load up a game (these days, Diablo 3). I've tried a number of solutions to no avail, so I've decided to make a post in the hopes a tech savvy individual can point me in the right direction.

    Things I've tried:
    -Underclocking GPU and memory
    -Increasing fan speeds
    -Opening up the laptop to clean the fans with compressed air
    -Adding a laptop cooling pad

    When in game my GPU temp is around 70 degrees Celsius cores are around 55.

    Oh, also, my drivers are up to date.

    Could be on the way out.


    Max the fans, set stock clocks, then run a Furmark burn in test for 10 mins and see if it artifacts.

    GPU is dying. Check warranty.
